Creamy Dark Chocolate Pie Recipes

OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan (with the heat OFF), whisk together the egg yolks and the milk.
• In a medium bowl, with a second (*dry) whisk, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt and cocoa powder.
• Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in the saucepan. Turn heat to medium. Whisk continually until mixture begins to thicken and bubble (about 10-15 minutes). *I usually switch to a large spoon after it starts to heat. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan well while heating.
• Remove from heat and add the butter, vanilla and almond extract. Stir well to combine.
• Let cool for a few minutes while continuously stirring, and then pour into the baked pie crust. Chill overnight.
• Top with whipped topping before cutting and serving.
• *If you have extra filling, just pour it into small bowls or parfait glasses and enjoy as pudding!
